The latest numbers from the California Secretary of State website at 5:19 am Pacific Time shows Governor elect Arnold Schwarzenegger with 3,476,301 votes. This passes Gray Davis' vote count of 3,469,025 from the 2002 election.

This should add to the "legitimacy" of the election. Arnold also owns 47.9% of the vote as compared to 47.4% for Gray last November.

Then redheaded John on MSNBC was using old numbers since the first thing I saw on tv this morning about an hour after your post time, was John showing Arnold had less votes (so far, I should note, but why the hell was he comparing them if not to "send a message") than Davis had gotten last time.

He did show 97% reporting in. And redheaded John is usually very good so now I'm perplexed with him pulling this number stunt.
